Used to have this problem with MacPaint on my Mac II colour system.  Eventually
got a different drawing tool, but found that turning the color setting to
black and white in the control panel removed the problem.  I believe it is an
incompatibility between the colour monitor interface and the assumptions built
into the drawing program being used.  Just never had the time to chase it any
further.  Just in case this might help.  Mailer bounced message.
